What Salmon should I buy?

There are many types of salmon out there, some of them are not the best of quality, here are the healthiest salmons

The six species of North American salmon vary in price, color and taste, but all are healthy choices. The largest is the king or chinook, prized for its high fat content, rich omega-3s and buttery texture. Sockeye, an oilier fish with deep-red flesh, has a stronger flavor and stands up well to grilling. Coho is milder and often lighter in color. Pink and chum are smaller and most often used in canning or smoking.

The most common fish you will find at the market is a farmed species known as Atlantic salmon, now endangered in the wild and not a recommended choice.

So be very careful when you are choosing your Salmon, look in the frozen section, sometimes you can get better value for your money.
